Draft:List of Five Nights at Freddy's characters

This is a list of characters from the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. The franchise originally was centered around a series off independently-developed point and click horror video games before expanding to other mediums of media.

Introduced in Five Nights at Freddy's

 * Freddy Fazbear (voiced by Tim Simmons in Special Delivery) is the titular character of the franchise, game, and pizzeria where the game is set. The brown animatronic bear wears a black bow tie and top hat and holds a microphone with four fingers on each hand. Within the game, Cawthon programmed Freddy's laugh to help indicate to players where Freddy is. Players of the first game who drain the remaining power in the building will hear Freddy approach the building and prepare to jumpscare the player whilst a music box rendition of the Toreador Song plays. In the second game, the character is referred to as Withered Freddy as an allusion to this model being an older incarnation of the character compared to the newer "toy" models introduced in the game.
 * Bonnie (voiced by Hans Yunda) is a blue anthropomorphic rabbit who plays the guitar with a red bowtie. He approaches the player from the left side of the building. A faceless version of him appears in the second game as Withered Bonnie. Cawthon claims that Bonnie gave him nightmares while creating the game.
 * Chica (voiced by Amber Lee Connors in Special Delivery) is a yellow chicken who wears a bib saying "Let's Eat!!", holding a pink cupcake named Mr. Cupcake. She approaches the player from the right side of the building. When she is in the kitchen, the player can hear pots and pans clanging.
 * Foxy (voiced by Christopher McCulloch) is a red fox with an eyepatch and brown shorts having exposed endoskeleton legs. He hides in the out of order Pirate Cove and will sprint down the left hall if the player fails to check on him periodically.
 * Golden Freddy, originally referred to in the game's source code as "yellow bear", is a rendition of Freddy Fazbear with a golden exterior as opposed to Freddy's brown. In the first game, the character can be summoned by looking at a specific poster featuring his face or typing in "1-9-8-7" into the 7th custom night. In the first game, any summoning of Golden Freddy crashes the game without proper evasion techniques. The character, especially Golden Freddy's backstory, is the subject of intense debate amongst the fandom, and is often considered to be core to the franchises' story.

Introduced in Five Nights at Freddy's 2

 * Toy Freddy (voiced by Darren Roebuck) is a light brown bear with a red striped top hat, more pointed bowtie, and buttons on his chest. If he enters the player's office, he can be fooled by a Freddy Fazbear head. In Ultimate Custom Night, he plays Five Nights with Mr. Hugs in the Parts and Service room and the player must help him keep Mr. Hugs out of his office, failure resulting in a jumpscare.

 * Toy Chica
 * Mangle
 * Balloon Boy

 * Shadow Freddy
 * RWQFSFASXC (simplified to Shadow Bonnie)
 * The Puppet (voiced by Jena Rundus in Ultimate Custom Night) plays a prominent role in the backstory of Five Nights as Freddy's as the one responsible for the murdered children's spirits haunting the animatronics. In Pizzeria Simulator, it is revealed that the Puppet is haunted by the spirit of Charlotte, the daughter of William Afton's former business partner and the other Fazbear Entertainment co-founder, Henry Emily, who is implied in several minigames to be Afton's first victim.

Her motives differ in the two games, as in the former she wishes to escape the facility where she and the other Funtime Animatronics are being held by occupying Michael's body, while in the latter she seeks to make her father proud by killing Michael.

Human characters
The franchise features seven main human characters:


 * William Afton (voiced by P. J. Heywood) is the series' central character and main antagonist. The founder of Afton Robotics, LLC, he is responsible for the creation of the Funtime Animatronics, and one of the co-founders of Fazbear Entertainment, Inc. Afton was first introduced in the minigames of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, depicted as an unnamed purple figure identified colloquially as the "Purple Guy". These minigames, as well as those from later installments, establish Afton as a child murderer, who killed at least six children (Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie, Fritz, Cassidy, and Charlotte Emily) before the events of the series; these children's spirits would go on to haunt some of the animatronic characters of the franchise, including Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Golden Freddy, and the Puppet. Afton himself was killed due to mechanical malfunctions of the Spring Bonnie suit he had worn during the murders and has appeared post-mortem as various incarnations throughout the series; most notably as Springtrap in Five Nights at Freddy's 3, Scraptrap in Pizzeria Simulator, and Burntrap in Security Breach. He has also been speculated to be the protagonist of Ultimate Custom Night, where he endures torment in either hell or his nightmares at the hands of the vengeful Cassidy, who refuses to let Afton die. A character known as Glitchtrap, or "the Anomaly", appears as the main antagonist of Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, and it has been debated among fans whether he is the real Afton or a digital copy of his consciousness.
 * Michael Afton (voiced by P. J. Heywood in Sister Location), William's eldest son, has been the protagonist of several games in the series, making his debut in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location. However, he has been speculated to be the player character of some of the earlier installments under several fake aliases, possibly including "Mike Schmidt" in the first game, "Fritz Smith" in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the unnamed security guard in Five Nights at Freddy's 3, and the older brother in Five Nights at Freddy's 4. His motives are cryptic and not very well-known, although it is agreed upon that he is a central character in the overarching story of the franchise.
 * The main protagonist of the Five Nights at Freddy's 4 minigames is a young boy who has been traumatized by Fazbear Entertainment's animatronics due to bullying from his older brother. The child was fatally injured by a Fredbear animatronic, and fell into a coma before eventually dying. Unnamed in-game, he is identified colloquially as the Crying Child.
 * Henry Emily (voiced by David Steele; credited as Cassette Man) is an engineer and the cofounder of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. His daughter, Charlotte, was murdered outside Fredbear's Family Diner by William in 1983. Decades later, he starts Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place to lure the remaining possessed animatronics together to burn them.
 * Gregory (voiced by Marta Svetek in Security Breach) is a young boy who is trapped in the Mega Pizzaplex overnight, and must survive against several hacked mascot characters and automated security robots. Among the robots are two humans; Vanessa, a security guard trying to find him (voiced by Heather Masters in Security Breach), and a woman in a white rabbit costume known as "Vanny" (voiced by Jessica Tang in Help Wanted, Stacey Young in the first trailer of Security Breach, and Marta Svetek in the finalized Security Breach), who are implied to be one and the same. Vanny previously appeared as the player character in Help Wanted, where William Afton's spirit somehow possessed her via the form of Glitchtrap to continue his killings, and she now suffers from dissociative identity disorder.
 * A veteran staff member known as the Phone Guy (voiced by Scott Cawthon in FNAF1, FNAF2, FNAF3, Ultimate Custom Night, and Help Wanted) provides information and advice via taped recordings in the first three games, posthumously in the third following his death at the hands of the animatronics in the first game's fourth night. This exposition role is spiritually succeeded by the "Phone Dude" (voiced by Cawthon in FNAF3 and Help Wanted), a man involved in setting up the Fazbear's Fright horror attraction in the third game, Henry Emily/Cassette Man in Pizzeria Simulator, and the "Tape Girl" (voiced by Briana Kennedy in Help Wanted), a former developer and beta tester for the in-universe Help Wanted VR game who leaves audio files warning future beta testers about "the Anomaly", Glitchtrap. Some games feature artificial intelligences of dubiously made quality as helpers for the protagonist or simple background characters, including HandUnit in Sister Location and Help Wanted, Tutorial Unit in Pizzeria Simulator and Special Delivery, and Dread Unit in Security Breach (all three voiced by Andy Field in their respective games).

Additional humans include Jeremy Fitzgerald (the main night guard that the player controls in Five Nights at Freddy's 2) and miscellaneous staff of the revived Fazbear Entertainment, Inc. (mentioned by Tape Girl and through text messages found in Special Delivery and Security Breach).
